Shark like fish

[SirMinion]

I agree with CFC, it sounds exactly like a pangasius cat to me.

correct me if im wrong, but werent the pangasius species known as the man eating catfish?

 

[Erised]

Wow, go to watch a movie and come back to this
Thanks a lot to All of you! I definatly do think its a pangasius of some sort, head definatly is the exact same.

I'm not entirly sure if its a Pangasius hypophthalmus seeing as the ones I saw were a bit smaller than what I saw pictures of, and the colouration seemed blacker, but it's definatly very very close.

I'm not gonna call it a final just yet, seeing as I'm not 1 to be great at comparing pictures I'll go over to the shop on tuesday and bring this thread back up so all of you can compare and see if it is indeed a Pangasius hypophthalmus. If it is, I'm afraid I'll probably have to call it a no go

Thanks again to all.

these fish grow to at least 3 feet dont they??

 

[Paul_MTS]

Yep!!

quite ugly IMO as well!!

I quite like the look of the fellows. Unfortunately it's hard to get details on origin and care (not surprising on care as most peeps don't keep until adult )

Would any of them be compatible with RTC or TSN?

 

[Paul_MTS]

yep!!

Swallows at colchester has a large pangassuis in with the pacus, TSN, RTC and peruno cats oh and ofcourse the plecs.

No, the man eating catfish are from the Wallago genus (Wallago attu being the infamous man eater), Pagasius cats are harmless to humans and have a mainly vegetaarian diet.
